Midwest Braces for Severe Weather as Cross-Country Storm Approaches

An abrupt temperature change in the Midwest is expected to bring severe storms, including the possibility of hail the size of hen eggs and tornadoes, from Missouri to Michigan. After record-shattering warmth, temperatures are set to plummet by as much as 40 degrees, with more than 50 daily record high temperatures potentially being broken. The severe storms are most likely to occur between Missouri and Michigan, primarily across northeastern Illinois and northern Indiana, with the potential for two-inch-thick hail and tornadoes.
